SNMP has long been widely used in the broadcast industry and is a great example of the industry using a technology which is there but has never quite satisfied all the needs not least security. Here, Rob Shakir and Carl Lebsack from Google explain their dissatisfaction with SNMP and tell of the system, gRPC, Google has written and implemented in response to stream telemetry at a high frequency. As larger facilities move to uncompressed essences over IP, this should solve a number of issues for the broadcast industry.
This talk given at NANOG 73 covers:
- SNMP inefficiencies
- The requirement for time-accurate data collection
- The need for finer granularity
- Inability of SNMP to contain large amounts of data
- Reasons streaming the telemetry works better
- Discussion around deployment of gRPC
